Hi, I am Aditi Mehta, I'm pursuing Master of Cyber Security. I like binge-watching TV shows and movies Shrinking being my fav at the moment), chilling at the beach reading a book, and going on small hikes. I am also passionate about food, I would not be able to pick just one meal to eat for the rest of my life. Looking forward to meeting you all and making new friends!!

My name is Akshitha and I'm studying masters in information technology. My favorite pet dog and I own a pet and i like him so much there are so many role models for me like sundar pichai and a girl who is very naive and good.

Hellooo!!! My name is Anshita, but if you’d like you can call me Anshi (it’s easier to remember). I am currently studying Nutrition Science at Clayton. Some of my favourite pass times including reading, painting and writing. A very steep contrast to my STEM academics. Speaking of which, my absolute favourite book series was A Good Girl's Guide to Murder. Loved it since the moment it started. Lastly my number one got to for motivation is this specific line: “If you want something done, do it yourself.”

Hi, I’m Anya Grover, I'm studying a Bachelor of Computer Science. I love painting, but if I had to pick one thing that truly relaxes me, it would be cooking. Trying new dishes feels incredibly therapeutic to me it’s my way of unwinding and experimenting creatively. I’m always curious in the kitchen and love exploring different flavours. My all-time favourite TV show is Gossip Girl, mostly because I enjoy a little drama, and honestly, a little drama never hurts. One life lesson that’s really stayed with me comes from my maths teacher: life goes on anyway. So, it’s our choice whether we face it with optimism or keep sulking. That idea has shaped my outlook, and it’s something I try to live by. When it comes to food, Indian food will always be my comfort. If I had to choose one dish, dal makhani would definitely be up there – whether I could eat it forever is debatable, but it will always feel like home.

Hey! I’m Arnav. I study Computer Science, but outside of uni I enjoy travelling and exploring new places whenever I get the chance. I like experiencing different cultures, trying new food, and just getting a change of scenery. In my downtime, I’m a big anime fan (Naruto is one of my favourites) and I enjoy relaxing with music or a good show. I’m someone who values growth, consistency, and good energy. My life motto would be “Keep moving forward.” Always happy to connect, share experiences, and be part of a friendly, supportive community.

Heyo, I'm Brian! I'm doing my Masters in Chemical Engineering, and I've grown to love and enjoy it over the last 1.5 years. When I'm bored and free, you can find me browsing thift shops and vinyl sales (I have 9 at the moment), watching football (COYGGGG), using my digicam, and going on 2AM walks in the CBD (my favorite). I'm pretty active in Monash, so you'll see me around campus working on my research project, volunteering, meeting with my student team and club, and chilling in our common room often. I'm down to talk music and sport at all times, and I love pool, so I'll ensure you aren't bored at uni. See ya!

Heyah! I'm Gopesh, currently in my third year of Medicine, I love producing music and going on long drives to reset :D I love watching TV shows and if you know no king but the King in the North, whose name is Stark, we are besties without introduction. And as a serial snacker, if I could eat only one thing forever, it would be popcorn, simple and endlessly enjoyable!

Hi there! I'm Greg, a Master of Data Science student with a passion for all things tech. When I'm not on my main quest, you can find me side-questing by working out in the gym, playing rugby, and obsessing over Warhammer lore (specifically Guy Haley's work). You could say I live at the intersection of heavy lifting, and sci-fi geekery. I also dabble in baking, though my oven and I have a complicated relationship. I'm deeply involved in Monash student life, from volunteering to teaching. If you want to make the most of your uni experience, let's connect. I'm definitely looking forward to meeting you all, and as the saying goes, strangers are just friends you haven't met yet.
